Yeah this is to true, I've shut down my console in anger before I get that bad. Games don't usually get me mad, but MW2's multiplayer can and will.

What frustrates me about MW2 is that it all feels so random at times. You can play your best game, but you're always at the mercy of the poor spawning system, random killstreaks that never seem to stop coming, and sometimes, well , nothing goes your way. MW2 does take skill to be good at, but if you want to be really good, you have to have some serious luck, or just be a cheap player.

the poor hit detection, usually due to lag, is what gets me the most

Hah...this is true. But what gets me angry the most is the horrible spawns. I usually get at least 4-5 bad spawns in a few games. I just don't understand why they would spawn you right in front of enemies.

I get mad when I keep on spawning in inappropriate places (for example, spawning in an unconvered area which an AC130 is lobbing bombs at or spwaningtwo centimetres away froman enemy)! :P

I agree with everything in there and it's all the main reason I play Battlefield now. Video games are meant to be fun and I stopped having fun on MW2 long ago. The part about emptying the mag into someone and having them turn around and blast you is the part that made me completely sick of it.

Completely true!! I rarely cuss in day-to-day life but after just a few games (sometimes just one) I'm using cuss words as if I'm in a competition of who can use the most.. still love the game and continue to play it.

I'm a big Bad Company multiplayer fan, but I am enjoying Modern Warfare at the moment. The two games shouldn't really be compared, the multiplayer for each is very different, tho there are obviously some great and distinct similarities. That said.. Camping is way too easy in Modern Warfare compared to Battlefield and like others have said, Modern Warfare really seems to lend itself to camping. Additionally, I feel that meleeing is way too powerful, especially with lag. MW2 meleeing should be more like Gears of War chainsawing: if you are getting shot at all, you can't advance, so you can't get the kill. The fact that an enemy doesn't even falter when getting hit when they want to melee you is a huge deal that is unbalanced. But yeah, in the end, I'll be popping MW2 back into my Xbox tonight and splitting my time between that and Battlefield.

Despite it's flaws, MW2 is damn good fun. It's a game you can boot up and dive straight into a game and have fun. But saying that, the *I'm going to teleport 10 metres and stab you in the face with my super-human commando-pro....perk* kind of players REALLY annoy me. I don't even see why they included it as a perk, it's just.....lame. Oh, and they need to drop a tactical nuke on those akimbo 1887s.

Only reason I'm keeping the MW2 disc right now, is because I need someone to co-op with me on the special ops stuff and get that remaining gamerscore. That's it. But even those I know that have it won't gimme the time of day for it at work :( because they're all on the multiplayer which I refuse to touch.

Sadly true, as well. But what ruined the campaign more for me than anything else even when compared to how excellent it was for the first Modern Warfare, was the whole "oh, let's kill the player's character" moments, and the fact that they had to repeat it multiple times. Yes, I was stunned as hell the first time that happened in the first CoD4. But that also had the benefit of only happening once. In MW2, not only does it happen multiple times, but it always happens after a part of the game where you're surrounded left and right by enemies, and normally get killed dozens of times before the scene is supposed to happen, which makes me question why it's suddenly a 'success' to move on because you die five feet further than the last dozen times you did die before? If a character in the plot was going to kill me anyway, realistically, it wouldn't have mattered if he did it or if some other random soldier did. The only known exception to this would be with someone with a known psychosis of "Only I get to kill him/her. Understand?!" like Joker has for Batman.

I get mad at mw2 every so often. But i'm not a fan of Bad Company 2. Unfotunately bought it and dont play it much, and end up playing mw2. I find that if i get pissed off at people being jerks (ie noob tubes danger close/ marathon lightweight commando) I just throw on a one man army danger close tube class or commando stab g18 class until they leave and it fixes the problem. Fight fire with fire.

thats definatly true, happened all the time

(although i was often the one with the AC130 and the Akimbo 1887 and definatly the one with the tactical knife and commando, oh and doing the no-scoping with intervention), (but i got it all straight back at me).

I really dislike parts of the game, but it's still enjoyable to me. Even though there are games that frustrate people, they still want to play them because they're fun.
